Chapter 1895 Killing You Is for Nothing
The life of a pirate is very exciting, but it is also very difficult. Cao Qi thought that he would eventually die in a certain unsightly robbery, and then his body would become food for fish in the sea.
So after being let go by Xin Laoqi last time, he found a place to settle down with some subordinates who were still willing to follow him.
Building houses, land reclamation, fishing...
Cao Qi gradually found the feeling of life in his hometown back then, and he was very obsessed with it.
He would sit on the ridge of the field on the way to work, and then look into the distance, quietly thinking about his hometown, thinking about the grain chief who was killed by himself.
The head of grain was very greedy, and every time he harvested grain, he would reap about 10% more. If anyone dared to point out his mistakes, he would admit his mistakes with a smile, very humble.
Cao Qi's father pointed out Liang Chang's hands and feet in public, and then Liang Chang suddenly realized his mistake.
Then... just two days later, Cao Qi's father 'offended'.
Then, his father died inexplicably. But what no one expected was that Cao Qihui, who was calm and sad at the time, buried his father...
It was half a year later, after Cao Qi had been living an honest life for half a year...
"Brother Seven, someone is looking for you."
Cao Qi turned around and saw a villager from the downstream village being led over by his subordinates.
"But there are thieves?"
Cao Qi felt that the hidden desire to kill in his heart was ignited again, his eyes were a little red, his fists were clenched, and he stared at the person who came and asked.
The visitor said happily, "Brother Seven, it's Xinghe Bo who came to ask you to talk."
"Xing Hebo?"
Cao Qi's heart was fluctuating, and he suppressed the panic of his subordinates, and then walked downstream with the person who came.
After seeing the huge ship parked at sea, Cao Qi let go of his worries and went all the way.
"I met Xing Hebo."
He knelt down to salute, Fang Xing pointed to Zhu Gaoxu beside him and said, "This is His Royal Highness King of Han."
Cao Qi was startled, and hastily turned to kowtow.
Zhu Gaoxu was impatient with this, so he asked, "Fang Xing, what did you ask him for?"
Fang Xing beckoned Cao Qi to get up, and then asked: "Is someone harassing here?"
Cao Qi respectfully said: "Uncle, there are... some savages here."
"Savage?"
Fang Xing said: "Those can be appeased."
The so-called savages are tribes in the mountains. Those tribes are the kings of the mountains. If they were to be wiped out, Fang Xing reckoned it would be the same as guerrilla warfare, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
Zhu Gaoxu was very disappointed when he heard it, he stared at Cao Qi and asked, "Is there still a thief?"
Cao Qi's legs were trembling a little, he laughed and said: "Your Highness, yes, when the Japanese pirates were rampant, Xiaoliuqiu was often bullied by them. Later, when the Japanese kingdom was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, many people were smuggled out, but the coastal Daming Navy After a tight investigation, they arrived at Xiaoliuqiu all the way..."
He spoke nervously, and Fang Xing felt tired when he heard it, but Zhu Gaoxu suddenly got up and shouted: "Bring me the king's armor, and form a team, let's kill the enemy!"
Fang Xing rubbed his forehead and said: "Your Highness, the soldiers are dispatched at this time, the sergeants haven't had a good rest!"
"Soldiers are precious and fast..."
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and felt that he was a little sluggish because of the boat, so he said angrily: "Forget it, let's find out where those Japanese pirates are first, and the scouts will go right away."
The orders in the army cannot be discounted. Even if the scouts were still a little uncomfortable, they still checked the weapons and horses, and went to ask for dry food.
Cao Qi looked at the equipment of those scouts with a little envy. If he had these things back then, how many fewer brothers would have died!
"You lead the way."
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but take Cao Qi as his subordinate, "No need to fight, just quietly find out where the Japanese are staying, and then you will be rewarded when you come back."
Once it comes to battle formation, Zhu Gaoxu will become organized.
Cao Qi nodded, he knew this was an opportunity, as long as he could do this, even if he returned to the Central Plains in the future, those people would have nothing to do with him.
But he still has the intention of making meritorious service.
So he asked for instructions: "Your Highness, I used to have some brothers, but now they are all upstream, and they are all men who dare to fight."
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned cold, and he said: "If there is a war between the two countries, your words like this will be the way to death, go!"
Cao Qi was frightened into a cold sweat, and after reconciling with Fang Wu, he asked in a low voice: "My lord, is there anything taboo about saying that?"
Fang Wuzhi pointed to an empty horse beside him, Cao Qi nodded and said, "The young one can ride a horse. I snatched those boats before, and then got a few horses..."
When his clumsy posture on the horse was discovered, the scouts immediately burst into laughter.
Fang Wu got on his horse, turned around and said, "Let's go!"
After leaving the village, Fang Wu explained: "The army is fighting, and you, a small force, are watching from the sidelines, and the origin is unknown. Isn't that courting death? What is it?" '
A scout on the left stared at Cao Qi's neck with ill intentions, and said with a smile: "The army is dispatched, and it doesn't care who you are. As long as there is a threat, you will kill it first. Even if your majesty knows it, you can only say kill it." Well done!"
Seeing that Cao Qi was terrified, Fang Wu scolded the scout, and said, "As long as you can get rid of the pirates, you are one of your own, so it's up to you."
Cao Qi nodded vigorously, regardless of whether it was for himself or the brothers under him, he would go for it.
After the scouts set off, Fang Xing and the others camped near the village. If outsiders saw the densely packed tents, they would probably be scared to pee.
After one night, Zhu Gaoxu came out of the tent cursing, he really couldn't stand the humid climate here, he felt sticky all over his body.
So early in the morning Zhu Gaoxu took someone to find Xiaoxi to take a bath, and Fang Xing ate breakfast slowly.
After the children in the village got the grain and meat from the fleet yesterday at home, they were not afraid of them, so they ran to see the strange things.
Seeing a large group of sergeants squatting to eat breakfast, listening to the sound of Xilihulu, some of those children were biting their fingers and drooling, and some were licking their lips, hungry.
There is no breakfast in this kind of place, and it is not bad to be able to guarantee two meals a day.
Fang Xing stopped chopsticks and stood up, shouting: "Ask the cook to make noodles for the children, eat as much as you can, don't overwhelm yourself."
Those children were not happy when they heard this, but they turned around and ran away. Fang Xing shouted: "If you run away again, you will be beaten by an adult. If you beat them for three days, you won't be able to get out of bed."
Those children were like hares shot by arrows. When they stopped suddenly, boys were all happy, while girls were mostly timid.
Fang Xing saw a girl who was about the same age as Wuyou, her face was a little dirty, the clothes on her body could only cover her body, her feet were a pair of straw sandals, and there were several scars on her toes, which were swarthy.
Why!
Fang Xing waved at the girl: "Sister, come here, come here."
The girl hid in the back reflexively, and Wang He watched the excitement from the sidelines, so she shouted: "This is Uncle Xinghe, I like children the most, come here quickly, there are sweets to eat."
At this time, a woman came over with a wooden basin full of mended clothes for the crew of the fleet. Seeing this, she led the girl over.
The girl looked at Fang Xing timidly, Fang Xing stroked her somewhat tangled hair before she had time to escape, and then shouted: "Lao Qi, give these babies some candy."
Xin Laoqi was behind, and upon hearing the sound, he got a lot of candy from the bag he was carrying, and held it to the front with both hands.
Fang Xing frowned when he saw it and said, "Bring them all!"
Another servant went to bring the bundles, Fang Xing opened it, and beckoned, "Come, each one has a bundle."
Those children didn't dare to ask for a bowl of noodles. At least Fang Xing would beat them if they didn't eat them, but if they took this unknown thing, they would probably be whipped by adults when they got home.
Don't mess with those people!
These are the words of the adults in the village.
Fang Xing took a candy, then opened his mouth to the little girl. After she opened her mouth in a daze, Fang Xing stuffed the sugar into her mouth, and then said with a smile, "Sweet mouth stuff, sugar cane will be planted here in the future, and you will eat it often."
The little girl's mouth moved, and then her eyes lit up.
Fang Xing touched the top of her head with a smile, and said to Wang He, "Give some cloth to the village, and... leave some medicinal materials for them."
